Book Overview

Praise for Fixed Income Securities, Second Edition "What distinguishes this book from many others on the subject is that Tuckman has skillfully combined intuitive rationale with mathematical analysis to give readers a clear and deep understanding of the market. Tuckman has written a comprehensive reference book that should be found on the desks of both seasoned practitioners and novices alike." Gerald Lucas, Senior Government Strategist, Director, Global Securities Research, Merrill Lynch "This outstanding book offers a well-written and clear tutorial for many of the cutting-edge analytical techniques and models used in practice. Combines a wealth of institutional knowledge, practical tools, and realistic examples, while giving a clear understanding of the underlying theory." Francis Longstaff, Professor of Finance, The Anderson School at UCLA "An excellent reference for anyone intending to bridge the gap between financial mathematics theory and the practice of financial markets." Marek Musiela, BNP Paribas "This is an extremely readable book with a balance between technical detail and practical application. Unlike other books in the area, thorough and tightly knit chapters reflect Tuckman s unique background as a well-respected academic and market participant." Tony D. Kao, Managing Director, Global Fixed Income GM Asset Management

Clear and Intuitive

By Thriftbooks.com User, August 11, 2005

This book gives basics of fixed income securities in a very intuitive way. It first explains building blocks for fixed income securities. I have studied these topics in pricing and finance theory, and then I bought this book. I couldn't imagine a better explanation in such a clear way for fixed income securities. I suggest this book to everybody who wants to understand the fixed income securities. I think it helps anybody...

Excellent book for real Fixed Income Practitioners

By Thriftbooks.com User, July 20, 2005

Bruce Tuckman's Fixed Income Securities deserves its reputation earned from both academics and practitioners as a practical yet rigorous introduction to fixed income markets. Written by a well-respected practitioner, Tuckman's book bridges the gap between the elementary, dry, and overly detailed books on the subject (if you think I'm referring to books in the Fabozzi tradition, you're correct) and the more quantitatively...

Excellent introdution to the world of Fixed Income

By Thriftbooks.com User, December 19, 2004

Tuckman's book is a lucid introduction to Fixed Income securities. It is an ideal mix of theory and institutional details.The book does not assume high mathematics knowledge, except for basic Algebra. Through the first few chapters Tuckman guides the reader through discount factors, spot rates, forward rates, Yield To maturity , duration and convexity; and with very good introductions to curve fitting, hedging and Term structure...

Unmatched clarity

By Thriftbooks.com User, October 27, 2004

Books like Tuckman's are hard to come by. I'm currently preparing for the FRM certification exam and this is a recommended text. Of all the books listed as required readings for the exam, this is the one I have learned the most from. The first 4 chapters are worth the book price by themselves - from a clear understanding of discount factors to building rate curves - Tuckman always takes pains to illustrate real-world examples,...

The best book out there...

By Thriftbooks.com User, July 23, 2003

Since all of the reviews cover the first edition, it's definitely worth noting that the 2nd edition is much improved. I've read most of the introductory books on fixed income, and none explain the market as clearly and intuitively as Tuckman. Anyone who is joining a fixed income desk or who seeks to learn more about this area should pick up this book before any others. The repo markets, interest rate and asset swaps, forwards,...
